Good advice, both on the caps and pulling the breaker and checking that it's dead. Of the 38 24 VAC irrigation valves I had [before we sold the farm], 6 were directly under my low band sloping V and I turned them on and off at 30 WPM which is not an approved code speed for Irritrol valves. 0.01 disk caps right at the valves killed it.

You might just add a 0.05 mf 600V capacitor between the black to ground
and a 2nd one from white to ground at each light.  Likely the Romex
comes into the box and the lamp is wire nutted on.  Should be pretty
easy to figure out how to install a couple of bypass caps.

Before working on this, be sure and kill the breaker to the lamp circuit
as it will be hot all the time, even with the lamp off.
